Since his arrival at
Inter Miami
a few months ago,
Lionel Messi
has shaken the
United States
, with fans and followers captivated by his presence on American soil.
Throughout his career,
Leo was always under strict surveillance and protection
, whether in stadiums, events or even when visiting any city.
The Rosario star is now surrounded by hundreds of fans eager to get a photo, an autograph or simply greet him.
Aware of this fervent passion,
David Beckham has reinforced Messi's security
by hiring a specialized agency to closely follow his every step.
This is how the American
Yassine Cheuko
appeared in the life of the captain of the Argentine National Team , that burly boy who follows him tooth and nail, even during the "pink" team's matches.
He is an expert in
boxing
and
martial arts
, but today he went viral not for his training routine or for having stopped a fan who wanted to take a photo with the
Rosario star
, but for having taken advantage of his free time to
play ball
.
Before David Beckham
's team trained,
Cheuko could be seen with two Inter collaborators having fun with the ball and an
elastic net
that
goalkeepers usually use
to train.

So much time with the
World Champion
made some of the skill rub off on the
former military man
.
The video went viral on social networks due to Cheuko's great control of the ball by playing little games and
hitting it repeatedly against the net
.
The three enjoyed a fun moment and learned another facet of
Messi's shadow
.
After a while of arguing, the number 10 bodyguard took his cell phone and sat down with other Inter
Miami
employees .

Until now, Yassine Cheuko was able to do what thousands of players and coaches could not,
follow Messi everywhere
.
Despite having the difficult job of protecting the best player of all, when the former
Marine
sees a ball, he behaves like any kid and doesn't pass up the opportunity to
play for a while
.
Inter Miami trained this morning with their sights set on the second leg against
Nashville
for the round of 16 of the
Concachampions
, the
CONCACAF Champions League
.
The first leg was a 2-2 draw with goals from
Messi
and
Suárez
.

If the team of Messi, Suarez and company advances to the quarterfinals, they will have to face the winner of the match between
Monterrey
and
Cincinatti
.
In the
MLS
, the
pink team
leads zone A with seven points.
He beat Real Salt Lake and Orlando City, but tied with the Los Angeles Galaxy and lost to Montreal.
Messi will be "All Star"
